"I do think it possible, within the bounds of reason to determine if a poster is adding either more signal or perhaps noise to the environment."And you answered with:
"Possible how? Interesting question..."Strictly out of curiousity (no criticism whatsoever), can you 'read' people? And if you can do so, do you trust your judgements most times? How much can you trust your intuition? As a practicing psychiatrist, I don't doubt you can't operate by intuition much, but the rest of us, as ordinary posters, can & do. I'm always willing to change or expand my previously held views, but I'm rarely wrong.
Without mentioning names, I've noticed that the boards are quieter & perhaps, more productive lately when certain posters aren't posting. Correct me, if I'm wrong. Seems to happen every time, but I've only been a part of these boards since early December.
